My hot cereal didn't read its directions

So I decided that hot cereal sounded for breakfast.  Added extra powdered milk to the water to up the protein content.  Followed the directions.  "Put all ingredients in a 2 cup microwave safe bowl."  I am making the toddler portion, put the 1/2 cup of water and cereal into a 4 cup micro pan.  Follow the rest of the directions.  And the cereal still crawls up and over the top of the pan and onto the glass plate of the microwave.  I used this extra large container just so I wouldn't have to wash the glass plate again so soon!  The amount in the bottom of the pan, when I am done cooking looks so tiny compared to the size of the pan.  Still too much for my little pouch, but...... I had to clean the microwave again, the stuff gets like concrete if you leave it for later.  Ugggghhhhhhh.  The hot cereal did hit the spot this morning.  Just had to share.  Hugs, Kathy

Kathy you have to babysit the microwave, and stop it n stir your cereal when you see it coming to a big ole boil.  This way you dont have the mess to clean up.

Awwwww shucks, I nuked it a minute, stirred and set the cook for 30 seconds like the instruction said.  By the time 30 seconds was done, overflow...... I will have to hire a baby sitter for the nuker.  I don't do well watching and waiting for things to boil.  You know the old saying, watched pots never boil.  Yup.
